Hmm, I'm just not convinced whether you really know better whether to grant a permission ad-hoc.
And even if you asked for it, getting "dialog blindness" is still not a good thing, neither for you nor for the platform. Yes, there are advanced users who will pay attention and know what they're doing, but I'd rather have the permission system average user proof. That's just my opinion, maybe someone from the Android team wants to leave a comment?
